I have QEMU running successfully on macOS Monterey 12.0.1
I'm running a ParrotOS VM, and everything is working except that the clipboard is not shared between the host and guest.

I have installed spice-vdagent in the guest OS but that has not helped.

Here is the QEMU command I'm using to start the guest OS:

qemu-system-x86_64 \
    -m 8G \
    -vga virtio \
    -display default,show-cursor=on \
    -usb \
    -device usb-tablet \
    -machine type=q35,accel=hvf \
    -drive file=parrot-2021.11.qcow2,if=virtio

Did you compile qemu with SPICE extensions? If not, there's no way to address the spice-vdagent from the QEMU side. The default build of qemu-system-x86_64 does not have SPICE enabled.

  • How would one confirm whether QEMU is compiled with SPICE extensions? It appears that QEMU is using SPICE here, but clipboard is still a no-go. – Slbox Feb 26 '22 at 21:04
